[Bug 1905472] Re: Something starts dhcclient for every intrface on boot
aoetools is effectively unchanged, and their initramfs_hook is the same since xenial. in the initramfs-tools the changes between 18.04 LTS and 20.04 LTS are that for automatic IP bring up, more methods are now supported with more robust IPv4 DHCP and IPv6 DHCP. Was your 18.04 LTS installation customized to prevent DCHP in the initrd? Or was DHCP attempted in 18.04 LTS and simply was failing, keeping things working? Is this something you can rectify with preup ifupdown hooks, such that dhcp leases that are not needed are removed in the running system? Or is booting with ip=none parameter sufficient for you? Please indicate what has changed, to cause failures. Because the behaviour of aoetools in stock configuration between 18.04 LTS and 20.04 LTS is expected to be the same, with dhcp being performed from the initrd by default. ** Changed in: aoetools (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete ** Changed in: initramfs-tools (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete ** Summary changed: - Something starts dhcclient for every intrface on boot + aoetools initramfs hooks starts dhcclient for every intrface on boot -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1905472 Title: aoetools initramfs hooks starts dhcclient for every intrface on boot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/aoetools/+bug/1905472/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

aoe hook is provided by https://packages.ubuntu.com/source/hirsute/aoetools If you need this package, but you do not want aoe hook to fire in the initramfs, you can as a local override dissable it with: dpkg-statoverride --add --update root root 0644 /usr/share/initramfs- tools/scripts/local-top/aoe Or if you have recommendations to improve it, please share your thoughts.

Oh, and just noticed that it was marked as "incomplete".

[Bug 1905472] Re: Something starts dhcclient for every intrface on boot
This has nothing to do with network, as mentioned earlier netplan is masked and ifupdown works as expected. Moreover it is known EXACTLY what happens (in initramfs): local_top/aoe calls configure_networking In absence of any kernel args, configure_networking tries to bring up every interface, by launching dhcpc for 3(?) seconds. This succeeds for interface that will be configured as part of bridge by ifupdown later, so bridge is left unconfigured and network is lost. The current workaround is to add ip=none to kernel line The proper fix is to change configure_networking to have a mode/arg where it brings up network interfaces bot does not try to assign ip addresses, and call it this way from local_top/aoe . Probably even split configure_networking into two functions... p.s. I can predict the future though (I have such a gift) - the resolution would be "AOE is used by 0.01% of ubuntu users, we power the word and store petabytes of data, mark this as enhancement for a future version N+5". -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1905472 Title: Something starts dhcclient for every intrface on boot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ifupdown/+bug/1905472/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

ubuntu-core-initramfs project is not used on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS servers and desktops. However I also don't think this is caused by initramfs. It would help for you to check your NetworkManager configuration, netplan configuration and ifupdwon configurations. ** Project changed: ubuntu-core-initramfs => initramfs-tools (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: initramfs-tools (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete ** Also affects: ifupdown (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: ifupdown (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete ** Also affects: netplan.io (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: netplan.io (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1905472 Title: Something starts dhcclient for every intrface on boot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ifupdown/+bug/1905472/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1905472] Re: Something starts dhcclient for every intrface on boot
The culprit is intramfs. Starting with 20 LTS, having an AOE device brings in local_top/aoe, which calls configure_networking . This causes dhcp configuration of the primary net interface, which screws up all network later (as this physical interface is part of the bridge, and bridge can't get a dhcp lease later). AOE stands for "ATA over ETHERNET", not ATA over IP. There is zero need to bring up ip stack for aoe to function. ** Also affects: ubuntu-core-initramfs Importance: Undecided Status: New ** No longer affects: isc-dhcp (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1905472 Title: Something starts dhcclient for every intrface on boot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-core-initramfs/+bug/1905472/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
